Utah down 39-33 at half at Baylor. Tough man to man on perimeter from Baylor. Pili picked up 2 offensive fouls in 1st 2 minutes - sat rest of half. and Lynn Roberts broke ger arm bike riding last week

Did we recruit her?12 fouls called in the last 3 minutes of the game. Yes, 12. Only 1 was intentional. Many of them, I'd say 5 or 6, could have been no calls. Especially in womens basketball, the refs have to let them play. It ruins the flow. Just like in any sport, the refs' job is to administer a fair game, not to look for technicalities. They seem to be infatuated with the moving screen call. They called 3 moving screen violations in a 90 second span at the end of the game. On every one of them, the defender fell down, begging for the call. The announcers even said the screeners have to learn to fall down too to counteract the defender falling (great, that would really enhance play. Not.) In the Stanford game yesterday, the defender ran into Cam's hip and just fell down and they called a moving screen foul on Cam. She was just standing there. Even if it can be debated if the screener "slightly moved", what's the point?
So much fun to watch Princeton, which actually runs the Princeton! Betts is keeping UCLA in it just because she can receive lobs over the undersized Princeton players down low.
Princeton has tied it up repeatedly in the fourth, and even led by two, but with under a minute they are now behind by 4. Osborne has been driving to the basket and picking up fouls to move UCLA ahead.

1 week from tonight UConn vs UCLA. That will be a test for both teams. UCLA has Florida State and Ohio State on the nonconference schedule still. We will know more a month from now if they’re real contenders.

Yes UCLA vs UConn will be very interesting. It could be a close win for UCLA where their size and offensive rebounding just overwhelms UConn’s front court. Or I could also see UConn winning by 20 where their guards just consistently drive past the UCLA bigs.

Furthermore, in most years, I prefer UConn's style of play to UCLA's. But that would be icing on the cake.
